What have ya got now Gary? I've had a few lower end boards just while learning, but then had a second hand custom x, then bought a brand new whole set up, the first year the channel boards were brought out and should! Last me now, but then I go into shops and get tempted to buy again,,,ya know what they say,,,,boys and their toys.
still got the lower end set up ive had for the last 5 years but i know im ready for moving up to something better as it doesnt give me the confidence to progress any further. Plus im spending more time in Bulgaria now giving me the opportunity to take it a step further.
By the way Shambhala Open Cup in may has jusyt been given Class 1 in UCI ranking so should encourage even higher standard of DH riders to the race... you gonna be going?? Steve and I hopefully will be there. Can introduce to people too.
Gary, pretty easy advice, hacksaw, a steady hand, cut right down the middle, junk the plastic strappy things, bolt on proper bindings, and buy some ski boots
Talk of a new course at Shambala, or at least a re-design of the bottom. It was awesome as it was, especially the old course, steep as !!, in fact some riders said it was almost un-rideable...
Hope to get some time over there before the start of the summer season, hoping also for some more development at the Borovets bike park ...

From what i can see of boarding, perhaps just to visit my local bar, request a tray, and smash myself in the face with it, will then give me the true experience of boarding... so no need to actually try it
Let me just say that most of the things said about the `Shambala' DH course.... are true, and sometimes an underestimation... they should really call the `rock garden' the `cemetery' That said, it is a real test, and very long, so fitness plays a part, two runs and you know ...

Why would a sensible person cut up a board, to make silly slats for pr---s, you could screw an ironing board to work boots and have more fun than sk,,, ees,,,, haha stick with ya board Gary, and point it down.
